Singapore Definitive Stamp, Lion Head Symbol

Singapore · 1968 · 1c

This definitive stamp features the iconic Lion Head symbol, a powerful emblem representing Singapore's courage, strength, and excellence. The simple yet bold design, set against a solid color background, was part of a long-running series used for everyday postage.

Issued shortly after Singapore's independence in 1965, this definitive series helped establish a new national identity through its postal system, replacing colonial-era imagery with distinctly Singaporean symbols.
